Skyler Ditchfield

Born in Ojai, California, Skyler Ditchfield’s entrepreneurial roots began at the age of six selling food, video games, lemonade, and basically anything else he thought people might buy, door-to-door and on the side of the road. He dove into the world of technology at the age of 13 when he set up a bulletin board system (BBS) to service 200 members of his local community with dial-up Internet. Throughout his childhood, he became increasingly fascinated with long-distance communications and computer networking. Directly after high school, Ditchfield accepted a Network Engineer II job at the Private Network Management Center (PNMC) of MCI Worldcom in Silicon Valley servicing high-level clients such as JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Quotron, Reuters, and more. Although Ditchfield was the youngest technician at the maximum-security PNMC, he was quickly promoted to Network Engineer III after exceeding the entire staff in router reprogramming. When the company relocated to the East Coast, Ditchfield was one of two employees offered a transfer. Ultimately, he declined the offer and returned to Ojai where he proceeded to build a network business from scratch with $550 in startup capital.

Within 4 years, in a town of only 8000 people, Ditchfield grew his small I.T. services company to nearly 3M in revenue before selling his shares and moving on. During this venture, Ditchfield simultaneously won a six-figure government RFP, beating out a number of incumbent I.T. providers. In 2010, Ditchfield purchased a 50% share of an outside I.T. company where he quickly reworked operating procedures to maximize efficiency. With newly allotted time, Ditchfield was able to officially start GeoLinks in 2011.

Skyler Ditchfield currently serves as the Co-founder and CEO of GeoLinks. His innovative ideas have revolutionized the way data is transferred from global data centers to its final delivery destination. Ditchfield is committed to developing state-of-the-art advancements through the IT marketplace so the GeoLinks’ company culture may one day be available to everyone.
